Abstract
Thiadiazole derivative mixture containing as a principal component a product characterized by the formula ##EQU1## where R is alkyl of from 2 to 30 carbons prepared by the method consisting of first contacting 2-amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole with an alkanal of the formula RCHO where R is a heretofore defined and second contacting the resultant reaction mixture with dimethyl sulfoxide. Lubricating oil composition comprising a hydrocarbon oil of lubricating viscosity containing between about 0.01 and 50 wt. % of said thiadiazole derivative mixture.
Claims2
A thiadiazole derivative mixture containing as a principal product an alkylidenimino thiadiazole characterized by the formula:
- ##EQU13## where R is alkyl of from 2 to 30 carbons, said mixture prepared by the process consisting essentially of first contacting 2-amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole with an alkanal of the formula RCHO where R is alkyl of from 2 to 30 carbons at a temperature of between about 20 and 250.degree. C. tuilizing a mole ratio of 2-amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole to alkanal of between about 10:1 and 1:2 to form an intermediate thiadiazole product characterized by the formula:
- ##EQU14## and second contacting said thiadiazole intermediate with dimethyl sulfoxide at a temperatue of between about 20 and 150.degree. C. utilizing a mole ratio of said intermediate to said dimethyl sulfoxide of between about 3:1 and 1:50 to form said thiadiazole derivative mixture, said first and second contacting conducted in the presence of a liquid solvent.
